Mariners Take Care of Rangers

Though the Seattle Mariners didn't win
the opening game of this series on
Thursday they took the remaining
three games. Mondsy will be a day
off for the Mariners before facing the
Yankees Tuesday thru Thursday. 
Next weekend the Mariners face
the Rangers again this time on the
road followed by the Astros. On 
September 27 they begin the last
three games of the season at home. 
The question can the Mariners win
at least nine of the last 12 games
which would give the Mariners 86
wins and get them into the playoffs.

Sunday Mariner 7 Rangers 0

Yes the Mariners shutout the Rangers
to take three out of four. George Kirby
who has struggled lately came back
to his old self. He went seven innings
giving up only one hit, no walks and
struck out three. The bullpen of Thornton
and Bazardo didn't give up a hit or walk
over two innings though struck out three. 

Bryan Woo will start Tuesday against
the Yankees followed by Miller and Gilbert.
Depending how things are at that point
the Mariners can go with Kirby on Friday.
Castillo maybe available in the series
against the Astros in Houston.

The Mariners got three runs in the
first inning when catcher Mitch Garver
hit a home run with two.outs and two. runners on base. The sixth inning Victor Robles singled to drive in a run. Randy
Arozarena hit a home run in the 7th. 
In the 8th the Mariners had their last 
two runs score both on sacrifice flies by
Julio and Justin Turner. The Mariners 
have had a bad season with sacrifice
flies however this series they had 
several.  Keep up the good work. 
Go M's.
